Bizarro's Toybox (Part 4): Sumo Battle of the Century!

Who can forget the epic crossovers between comic book giants DC Comics and Marvel Comics? After testing the waters with an amicable Wizard of Oz collaboration in 1975, the crosstown rivals soon took off the gloves and set their two flagship characters against each other in the mind-blowing Superman vs. Spider-Man treasury edition (1976). Comic book tradition dictates that two champions meeting for the first time have to battle each other due to a misunderstanding or a villainous set-up. In this case it's the latter, as Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus manipulate their respective arch-enemies into duking it out.

Now the thrills of that classic clash can be passed on to a new generation, as tiny tots can reenact that sacred meeting with the Superman vs. Spider-Man SUMO SUITS!
